Création de la leçon...
1
I'm not proud to admit this, but lately I've been feeling super unmotivated, like to the point where all I want to do is scroll on my phone and eat.
2
But now that spring is officially here, I am on a mission to get my shit together and actually improve my health, fitness, and lifestyle.
3
This is a realistic week in my life of how I work out, eat, and become a healthier person inside and out.
4
Last week, we were not on the best track in terms of diet.
5
So I am making sure this week I am on point and sticking to low inflammatory foods.
6
Less refined sugar, less processed foods.
7
I'm not perfect, but I feel like this is a good start.
8
This is my grocery spread for this week.
9
So I have my fruit here.
10
This is gonna be my alternative to like dessert and sugar.
11
I've got some air chilled chicken breast that I'm gonna meal prep right now.
12
Some of this blank steak for a soup.
13
This is my guilty pleasure with the Hue Simple Dark Chocolate.
14
I just, I need to have these some chia seeds
15
because i want to make a chia seed pudding some hummus
16
to eat with like crackers i'm gonna do this like cucumber salad
17
that i made last week it was really good
18
and then i realized i am deficient in iodine according to like a nutrient panel
19
that i did so i got some seaweed here
20
because i'm gonna make a korean seafood soup called myokguk it's supposed to be really nutritious
21
I hope you like this video.
22
I'm going to put a little bit of a knife in my hand.
23
I'm going to put a knife in the knife.
24
I'm going to put a knife in the knife.
25
I'm going to put a knife in the knife.
26
perfect brown rice every time
27
good morning i am off to a workout class today this is going to be a strength
28
and cardio class i used to just work out at home
29
or at the gym
30
but i've been really loving classes i feel like the instructor pushes me way harder than I'd push myself, and being in a room with other people kind of puts that healthy pressure on you.
31
Today's class was a nine-movement circuit, which we did three times.
32
Yeah, it was very intense.
33
It was basically a full-body workout in a hot, steamy room, and for some reason, today the weights felt heavier than usual.
34
I literally thought I was going to pass away, but we did it, and I felt super proud of myself after.
35
This is the best flavor of the Koya protein shakes.
36
I think this is vegan, soy-free, and gluten-free.
37
I will not take any banana slander.
38
Banana is like my favorite flavor of anything.
39
I'm really happy with my skin lately for lunch i had the chicken thighs i meal prepped yesterday this was
40
so delicious and filling i definitely recommend using dark meat for meal prep
41
because it's just a lot juicier and will hold better throughout the week Alright,
42
I've got my miyokguk here And then some ganchan, my cucumber salad And then my grandma's famous radish kimchi
43
Koreans just need to have side dishes for every single meal So my ancestors would be proud
44
Miyokguk is traditionally eaten on your birthday because the seaweed symbolizes like good health.
45
But honestly, like we just eat it anytime of the year.
46
Okay.
47
Wait, I actually cooked with this one.
48
Literally.
49
This almost tastes like my grandma's.
50
It's gossip girl night.
51
So I'm gonna sit here, eat this and enjoy my night.
52
I've basically been a couch potato this entire day.
53
I didn't go to a workout class because I don't book them for Tuesday
54
but I'm going to go downstairs to my gym and just take a little walk because I feel very tired.
55
Okay, real talk.
56
I have a lot of gut issues.
57
And if you've been following me for a while, then you know I used to have some serious gut dysbiosis.
58
Like the whole microbiome was off.
59
And after doing all the research, I realized that the gut is the most important part of your body.
60
It really does affect everything in your life, including energy, your skin, and even your mood.
61
That's why I always include a probiotic in my diet, but I only trust the best of the best.
62
And this is the one I swear by.
63
DSL-1 Daily Symbiotic is the number one digestive health probiotic
64
and a clinically validated two-in-one probiotic and prebiotic that supports your body in and beyond the gut.
65
It has 24 probiotic strains plus a plant-based prebiotic.
66
And unlike most of the probiotics in the market that actually die before reaching your gut, this is engineered to survive digestion.
67
It uses a capsule-in-capsule design that delivers the strains directly to your colon.
68
DSO-1 is formulated to reduce bloating and improve regularity in as little as two weeks.
69
And it's clinically validated to increase good bacteria in the gut by 400%.
70
It's also formulated to support skin health, immune health, and overall your gut barrier, which is so important for feeling good every day.
71
Since making Seed a part of my routine, I just feel way more consistent.
72
I have less random bloating, my bathroom trips are more regular, and I'm more in control of how my body feels day to day.
73
If you're also working on getting your life together and want to start with your gut, I've worked out a special code.
74

76
Thank you to Seed for sponsoring this video.
77
To be completely honest with you, even though it looks like I'm always super productive and consistent, this week was very challenging for me.
78
I've been feeling extremely exhausted and burnt out.
79
I don't know why, but every day this week, I just had no energy whatsoever.
80
While these toner pads are so thin, you can't even tell they're on my face.
81
It might be because I've been pushing myself a lot in the workout classes and my body is adjusting to it.
82
But despite how I feel, I still show up to the classes
83
because I already signed up for them at the beginning of the week and it's too late to cancel.
84
Even though I'm tired, I'm still grateful I went.
85
Today was heated Pilates, which is more low impact and manageable than Monday's class.
86
I love Pilates for the micro movements that really target the muscles you don't really work on a daily basis.
87
The pace is slower and the holds really work your muscles to failure.
88
I know it doesn't look super intense, but trust me, I was shaking during some of these movements.
89
It's a lot harder than it looks.
90
Pilates also forces you to engage that mind-muscle connection.
91
That's why these moves are a lot harder to perform than they look.
92
This class is only 45 minutes, but by the end of it, I am drenched in sweat.
93
I really do look forward to this every single week though.
94
It is 3 p.m and I am absolutely starving.
95
I haven't eaten anything all day except for that smoothie.
96
So your girl is ravenous.
97
I'm just gonna heat up my meal prep that I made yesterday.
98
I'm gonna have two chicken thighs because I'm famished.
99
Some brown rice and then I'm gonna eat it with this cucumber salad that I made yesterday.
100
It's like the Korean in me that needs to have something like acidic with every meal.
101
Something sour and you know just a little palate cleanser.
102
every time I eat chicken thighs I'm just reminded why it's
103
so much better than chicken breast this is a lot juicier
104
if you guys wonder what I do all day as a
105
full-time youtuber I promise it's not just me going to Pilates
106
and doom scrolling on my phone a lot of my time
107
is spent scripting new videos ideation coming up with titles new video topics short form editing for like Instagram,
108
TikTok, answering emails because I am always in my inbox.
109
And then let's see, what else do I do?
110
Managing a girl Academy, which is my exclusive personal community for women.
111
And if there's monthly challenges, I'm facilitating those, doing monthly calls, and then obviously responding to comments from you guys.
112
Your girl is very busy, but I think the reason why I don't really complain about how busy I am is just
113
because I love what I do.
114
Obviously, even if you pursue your passion, you're still gonna get stressed out.
115
And there are parts of it you're not going to enjoy as much as others.
116
Like when it comes to doing my taxes and finances, I hate that.
117
But it allows me to continue doing what I love.
118
So I'm okay with it.
119
If you guys have been watching the Olympics or following what's going on with it online, right now Alyssa Liu is having like her big moment.
120
Everyone's obsessed over her.
121
I'm obsessed over her.
122
And the fact is like she's only 20 years old, I think.
123
But she's so wise and just genuine.
124
And I love her mindset.
125
I think she was in an interview or someone was asking her like, I forgot what the question was, but she was basically like suffering or struggling is what makes me feel alive.
126
And when I heard that, I was like, that makes so much sense.
127
And I feel like that's the reason why we keep going.
128
You can't rely on motivation.
129
You just have to do it.
130
Suffering is unavoidable.
131
And it's also what makes the joyous, most happiest moments of your life worthwhile.
132
How does that quote go?
133
Like there There can't be sun without rain.
134
Or, you know what I mean.
135
You can't have the good times without the bad times, or else the good times wouldn't be good, they'd just be normal.
136
Does anyone remember the salmon bowls from 2020?
137
I recently just had a craving for this
138
so i made it i actually haven't had this in years you have to wrap it in the kim bon appetit
139
holy moly that is so good and i'm gonna eat this while watching some gossip girl
140
One of the things I've been putting off for a long
141
time is cleaning my bathroom I've done like a very light surface clean in here like every single week
142
But I finally got a shower scrubber and some actual shower cleaner
143
and toilet bowl cleaner So I feel like it's time to give my bathroom a deep reset Ew, it's nasty Okay.
144
My apartment is so clean now Very happy Look at my bathroom Do you see that?
145
Sparkling And look at the shower
146
It's like literally looks like there's nothing here I give myself
147
an A plus Now I can chill I just got a package
148
that I am very excited for Now
149
that I am working out very very frequently I wanted to get some cotton activewear
150
Most activewear that you buy is made out of like nylon or acrylic or polyester
151
Which isn't good for the body So I got some cotton activewear pieces
152
when I work out I actually ordered this in an extra small
153
but it was a little bit too tight
154
So I got it in a bigger size little sports bra and then the matching leggings.
155
This set is so cute.
156
I am so excited to wear this.
157
This morning, I booked another heated Pilates class with one of my favorite instructors.
158
It was raining today, so it got so humid in the room, I was actually dying.
159
But this was such a good workout.
160
Since taking real Pilates classes, I feel like my form has improved so much.
161
Even though I was pretty exhausted this week, I definitely do feel a lot stronger.
162
Like my muscles are actually visible and I just feel a lot tighter.
163
My upper body has always been weaker, so Pilates has been really helpful for toning my arms and back, especially using the props.
164
Something about squeezing a ball or a ring really helps to engage
165
that mind-muscle connection and make sure that you're sending energy through your limbs.
166
Alright, now we are going to get lunch and I've used the bathroom really bad.
167
I'm going
168
to go to the next video.
169
Thank you.

Practice Tips
To get the most out of this English learning session, consider utilizing a shadowing app or a shadowing site to help you practice speaking in real time. Start by listening carefully to the transcript and then repeat segments of the dialogue out loud. Focus on tone, pace, and pronunciation. This week’s lesson may have varied speeds and tones, so aim for clarity over accuracy. It’s okay to pause and repeat sections until you feel comfortable.

Doing this will not only help with pronunciation but will also build confidence in expressing personal experiences and feelings, which can be crucial during IELTS speaking practice.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
